My big brother, Pake, had back surgery on Thursday, May 13th. Although the surgery went well, he had a stroke later that evening. The stroke caused blood on the brain and swelling. Early this morning, Saturday, they performed a surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. He is currently in ICU, stable and recovering.

We really appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. We’re asking everyone to please give Pake a few days to recover. He needs his rest and the doctors have requested that we keep the foot traffic to a minimum. We know Pake will want visitors when he’s awake and can enjoy all of your new jokes and you getting him caught up on all the news. We will keep you all posted. Keep sending your prayers! Thanks a bunch!

Pake, a country singer in his own right, was signed with RCA back in the 80s. According to Taste of Country, he recently retired from music to ranch full time.
